Since St. John’s Men’s Basketball head coach Rick Pitino was buried by the New York media just three weeks ago, the Red Storm have found themselves winners of five straight. This late-season peak is exactly what the formerly struggling Johnnies needed.

The latest installment of the winning-streak came in the form of a 86-78 victory over Ed Cooley and Georgetown at Madison Square Garden on Senior Day, sweeping the season series against the Hoyas.
